Vintage Fashion June 1938

It seems I really am turning into a collector.  Now, that would not be a bad thing if I had oodles of money and unlimited space, but as both are rather lacking (the latter more so, but if I keep up the buying then the former will diminish too) then I think I should find another hobby other than shopping online.  Now, what to do?  Uh, how about sewing, there's an idea, especially as the majority of purchases -  fabric, buttons, buckles, patterns etc, are intended for just that. 

I may have some form of procrastination condition, as I really am paralysed by it and the more things I amass, and the choices multiply, my overwhelmed mind loses it a little more. So, the 35+ German vintage pattern magazines that I have just bought after a dealer contacted me with an irresistible, bulk-buy offer, are not going to help me one jot.  It does though, however, give me plenty more delicious images to share here... look away now if you're fed up of them!

Tennis Frock Pattern 1939

I have a few 1930s & 1940s Women’s Wear magazines with drafts for various jackets, dresses and skirts and thought I’d share a few of them.  The drafts use the bust measurement as scale and the instructions are easily followed.

First up is a sweet and simple Tennis Frock from June, 1939.

If anyone drafts and makes this up, please let me know and email me pics to share here or a link to your blog!  I'll be posting a few more soon.
